Overview

Celestial TSP calculates optimal observation order for celestial bodies. The script uses the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) algorithm to find the shortest path between celestial bodies and generates a spherical image showing the optimal order.

Celestial TSP Planner

positional arguments:
  input_file_path       Input file path with celestial coordinates.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --lat LAT             Latitude of observation location.
  --lon LON             Longitude of observation location.
  --height HEIGHT       Height of observation location (in meters).
  --date DATE           Observation date (YYYY-MM-DD).
  --time TIME           Observation time (HH:MM:SS).
  --tz TZ               Time zone offset (e.g., +9 for JST).
  --output OUTPUT       Filename for the output image.
  --first_body FIRST_BODY
                        Name of the celestial body to start the TSP from.

Provide the input file containing celestial coordinates and specify the observation location and time.
